2 Chronicles 28:22-24

Douay-Rheims 1899 American Edition

²² Moreover also in the time of his distress he increased contempt against the Lord: king Achaz himself by himself,

²³ Sacrificed victims to the gods of Damascus that struck him, and he said: The gods of the kings of Syria help them, and I will appease them with victims, and they will help me; whereas on the contrary they were the ruin of him, and of all Israel.

²⁴ Then Achaz having taken away all the vessels of the house of God, and broken them, shut up the doors of the temple of God, and made himself altars in all the corners of Jerusalem.
